God's story turns to Joseph, the favored son of Jacob. Joseph's brothers' jealousy is exacerbated by Jacob's favoritism and Joseph's dreams of ruling over them. This jealousy leads the brothers to plot against Joseph, initially planning to kill him but ultimately selling him into slavery. The sermon highlights themes of familial dysfunction and God's ability to work through flawed individuals and difficult circumstances to bring about His purposes. The message emphasizes trusting in God's providence, even amid personal and familial failures.
